Pattaya Daily Update - Best of Pattaya: Flight of the Gibbon

Standing 70 metres above the ground on a wooden platform built around a tree trunk, you can see for miles across the jungle canopy. Then you let go, and fly Tarzan-like along a zip line to the next tree. This is the Flight of the Gibbon.

There are 26 platforms, reached on 3km of zip lines, or by climbing spiral staircases, crossing wooden bridges and abseiling from the treetops. To get round the whole course can take three hours depending on the number in your party (maximum nine). There’s a clear and simple safety talk before you start on a ten minute trek to the first platform. This is the most strenuous part of the day, but still fairly gentle, and they say anyone from 5 to 90 can handle this experience.

Flights leave at 8am, 11am and 2pm, and if you travel independently you need to get there half an hour before to fill out the necessary forms and make the trip by songthaew up into the hills to the start point.

The price of B2,999 includes access to Khao Kheow Open Zoo, a meal and water. You can also stay overnight as part of the two day package, which includes night safari and an elephant trek.

Coming from Pattaya it’s around 40 minutes drive (look for signs for Khao Kheow Zoo just north of Sri Racha). Otherwise, Flight of the Gibbon can arrange pick ups from either Pattaya or Bangkok, see box below for more details.

Pattaya Daily Update - Stay in Style: Best of Pattaya – Amari Orchid Pattaya

The families enjoying the Amari give the lie to the Pattaya-is-just-for-single-men myth.

On Pattaya Road’s northern curve, this allin- one-place resort is split into two gargantuan wings linked by neat gardens dotted with paths and two fab swimming pools – one lagoon, one lap.

The older Garden Wing is low-rise, some way back from the sea, while the soaring hi-rise Ocean Tower offers far-reaching sea views from its more up-to-date (and pricier) rooms.

Our pick: the Ocean Tower’s Executive Junior Suites. These 63m2 corner rooms with open plan layouts star walk-in bathrooms with stone bathtubs, and plump king-size beds facing unbroken ocean views. You also get access to the Horizon Club business lounge, with its exclusive privileges such as private check-in/check-out and early evening cocktails.

Facilities begin at the pool, continue with the spa and restaurants, and never really let up – this is a resort you can lose days in.

Pattaya Daily Update - Stay in Style: Siam Bayview Hotel - Safari Suite

At 27 years old this hotel is longtime feature of the Pattaya skyline. The style is formal Siam, and as part of the drive to adapt to the rapid rise of the more recent competition the Bayview has recently opened six theme suites.

The two rooms at the end of each floor of the main wing have been knocked through to form single bedroom suites that stretch the full depth of the hotel. There are six themes: Ban Chiang (with pottery from the ancient site in northeast Thailand), Carnival, Safari, Moroccan, Thai Tribal and Lai Kram – the one we stayed in, which is tastefully inspired by the blue Thai ceramics of the same name.

The comfortable, separate room living areas include flat screen TVs, large plants in celadon pots, ample sofas and a dining table. All suites have wifi access, and the floor to ceiling windows open to a small balcony overlooking Pattaya Bay.
